“We did it at times got close, but made too many mistakes . . . if you don’t correct that stuff, it doesn’t matter who you play. You end up being a .500-type team.
Middle linebacker Fred Warner was eager to move on to Dallas.
“You can do one of two things, You can sulk in defeat or you can see what the reality is, fix it, move on and win a game next week,” Warner mentioned. “There’s so many things that are going to be said about where we’re at, about that team. That’s not going to help us move forward. That’s not going to help us next week. We have to look at the reality of what it is, flush it, move on and win a game.”

I didn’t realize everyone was still in there. Then when I looked behind you guys kind of scared me. I didn’t realize everyone was creeping so bad.”
Relating to Purdy’s efficiency, Shanahan mentioned, “Brock’s having a hell of a 12 months. He didn’t have his finest sport yesterday.
